ABSTRACT
ObjectiveTo explore the clinical manifestations of infant cytomegalovirus infection in different age. MethodThe clinical data of 237 infants who suffered from cytomegalovirus infection was analyzed retrospectively and divided into three groups: 0-3 months old (77 cases,group A) ,4-6 months old ( 65 cases , group B ) , 7-12 months old ( 95 cases , group C ). ResultsThe incidence of respiratory infection was the highest among all infectious organs in three groups, the numbers of patients who had wheeze in group A was less than that in the other two groups[24.7％(19/77) vs. 61.5％ (40/65), 61.1％( 58/95 )](P ＜ 0.01 ).The incidence of jaundice decreased gradually as the babies grew up[23.4％( 18/77 )→7.7％(5/65 )→1.1％( 1/95 )](P ＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference in diarrhoea and bleeding among three groups (P＞0.05 ). The proportion of alanine aminotransferase], aspartate amino transferase increasing was similar among three groups, but gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) was different, the proportion of GGT increasing was 77.9％ (60/77) in group A which was higher than that in the other two groups[10.8％ ( 7/65 ), 2.1％ ( 2/95 )].Granulocytopenia in group B was obviously decreased compared with the other two groups (P ＜ 0.05 ), anemia was easily occurred in group C (P ＜ 0.05 ). ConclusionThe injury of cytomegalovirus infection may be related to month old.
